The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.

The following statement of objectives is found on the first page of the NAACP Constitution – the principal objectives of the Association shall be:

To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens,

To achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States.

To remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes.

To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights.

To inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination.

To educate persons as to their
constitutional rights and to take all lawful action to
secure the exercise thereof, and to take any other lawful
action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with
the NAACP’s Articles of Incorporation and this Constitution.

If it were not for our local NAACP Chapter ... so many
young, black men would be dead or incarcerated!

We are being called like our forefathers and foremothers to be the moral defibrillators of our time, he said, bringing much of the audience to its feet. We must shock this nation with the power of love. We must shock this nation with the power of mercy ... we can't give up on the heart of our democracy. Not now, not ever!
